Chapter Twenty-Nine: Returning Home
Hearing my mother say this, I felt that something was faintly wrong, but I couldn't say anything was wrong.
I said, "Empress, how can I explain it?" ”
Mom said, "If you don't come back, you don't have to explain to her." ”
Isn't that treachery? The Empress is nice to me. ”
The old mother said: "The empress, you can't say that she invites people to buy people's hearts, but her words and deeds in her position must have her political purpose, do you think she would still be so concerned about you if you weren't for the sword god?" ”
I was stunned and said, "She wants to hear you say this about her, and she still has to die of sadness?" ”
The old mother said: "I am a monarch and a minister, you know best what my mother is, in my heart there is not much loyalty to the monarch, the empress treats me well, within my ability I will spare no effort to help her, but have you ever heard of someone who put his son on for his boss?" ”
I said, "What about the people of the daughter country?" ”
My mother sighed and said: "My most depressed thing is here, since ancient times, the most unlucky people are only the people, as their general, I only have the words 'bow and die', but you are different, you don't belong here, you have no obligation to help them." ”
I lowered my head and said, "Actually, the empress and the people are not important to me, the most important thing is - Mom, what about you?" If I don't come back, won't I never see you again? ”
The mother's eyes were red, and she was silent for a moment before she said: "Yang Yang, my mother has lived two lives, I only have one son for you in these two lives, and the child is the mother's day, what is the point of my life if something happens to you?" As long as you live safely and happily, even if I can't see you, my mother will be content. ”
I also said sadly: "Mom, don't say that. ”
My mother said: "After you go back, live a good life, get married and have children, find a proper job, your father is not young, you have to honor him well, as for your stepmother surnamed Meng...... It is said that she is not bad to you, and you should be good to others. ”
I laughed and said, "You're thinking too far, and the last sentence is insincere, right?" ”
My mother glared at me and said, "Don't be hippie and smiling, don't talk to anyone about me, our mother and son have met after all, I have nothing to regret, and in the future, it will be nothing more than living in two places and inconvenient contact, no different from those whose children work abroad." ”
I said, "Then who will support you when you are old?" ”
My mother smiled: "Do I want you to raise it?" ”
I said, "Then who will protect you?" ”
"Forget it, you can't even take care of yourself, if it wasn't for shit luck just now......" Speaking of this, the old mother was also afraid, and she didn't say the following words again.
I suddenly thought of a question and said, "Mom, don't forget that even if I go back, I'm not alone, I still have a Su Jing, if I don't come back, do you think she can agree?" ”
My mother put her hand on her cheek and said, "I really forgot about this." She thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can tell her that this is what I mean, and you can tell her our relationship when you have to, and you can tell her bluntly, the daughter country still has me, the general, and I can't pull others in if it's not my turn." ”
I wondered, "Can she listen to you?" ”
"Su Jing is my goddaughter, and she still respects me very much."
"I know this, but I think she has a very unrelenting posture of not giving up on the Yellow River, and she can't be persuaded with a few words."
Mom said: "Actually, you didn't find that Su Jing and her master Kumei are the same proud people, but Kumei is a little more lonely and self-appreciative, and Su Jing is a little out of place, I am afraid that there is no one in this world who she is really convinced, and she is forced to beg you Su Jing was reluctant, if it weren't for the people of the Federation Continent and the daughter country, she would never compromise on everything, as long as you talk to her, I don't think she will be strong." ”
I said, "I can see that." ”
Mom said: "You have to take good care of her after you go back, Su Jing, the girl's surname is a little proud, but at a young age, she can work tirelessly for the people, and even put down her body to do what she is not willing to do, such an awareness even I am ashamed of myself, but it is a pity that she is a person from the daughter country, and she is the loyal prince of the empress, if she can stay there for a lifetime, it is not the best place to live." ”
After hearing this, I suddenly realized that something was wrong - my mother's words revealed a sense of excitement, and she seemed not optimistic about the future of her daughter's country.
I said carefully: "Mom, are you not sure about this battle?" ”
The old mother said: "There are some things I can only say to you alone, I have been trembling and struggling all these years, and finally I have not let my daughter lose an inch of land, and only I know the hardships." Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers' This sentence is valid for the generals of other countries, I never dare to think so, I can't defeat the battle as a general, the daughter country is congenitally insufficient, there is a powerful Honglie Empire in the north, the eighteen alliances at both ends of the first rat in the west, and the fierce Fanbang alien races in the south, today's situation is only maintained by my careful calculations, it is not difficult to win one or two battles, what I am most worried about is not losing, but how to go in the future of the daughter country. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
My mother said worriedly: "The current daughter country, the emperor is wise and brave, the people are rich, but they can only maintain an invincible status quo, just think, if there is a problem in any link, how will the daughter country face all kinds of external and internal troubles?" ”
I said, "It's like a coolie in the prime of life, and now he can barely make ends meet by carrying bags for others, but it won't be easy to say if he waits a few more years." ”
Mom nodded and said: "Your analogy is very appropriate, the last war between the two continents lasted for 10 years, this time Hegis is strong, it is impossible to have results without seven or eight years, I am confident that within three years, Hegis will not be able to touch the daughter country, as for whether it will be dragged down later, I really can't say." ”
I said: "In fact, the key problem is still men, a male soldier comes up, you have to use three female soldiers to resist, no matter how fierce the Feifeng Army is, it is not a conventional method, in the next ten years and decades, no one can guarantee that the establishment of the Feifeng Army will remain unchanged, even if the establishment is, whether it can always fight a tough battle is also a problem." ”
Mom said, "You're right, but none of this can be changed." ”
Mom couldn't help it, I was even more at a loss, and then said: "Mom, otherwise you go back with me, even if you don't want to see my father, I'll buy you a house outside, our mother and son have a peaceful life, there must be a lot of people who want to sit in your position as a general, and naturally there will be people who will lead troops to fight when you leave." ”
Mom shook her head and said: "If I leave now, it will be equivalent to treason, and the 200,000 Feifeng Army will become a motherless child, no matter how selfish my mother is, she can't do this kind of thing." ”
"Then let me come back and help you!"
Mom said categorically: "No need to say more, you must leave, and you are not allowed to come back!" ”
"What if I have the ability to help you? As long as I can cultivate the sword qi, I can get back my previous strength, and with Su Jing, the two sword gods will always work, right? ”
"No, it doesn't matter if you are a sword god or not, the important thing is that you live well, you don't understand the things of fighting, how can one or two people change the tide of the war? Don't you understand that the empress sent someone to you, and the political significance is greater than the practical significance? ”
At this point, Su Jing also made it clear to me that she didn't expect me to really help at all, so she wanted me to come to the catwalk, warm up, and mobilize the soy sauce party...... I sneered, "But I can't bear you." ”
My mother pressed my shoulder and said, "Mom can't bear you, but you have to live, I'm used to being alone, but you still have your life over there." ”
I was sad and said, "I feel even more uncomfortable when you say this." ”
My mother said: "I'm going to the school military field tomorrow to order soldiers, I may not be able to send you, but you have to remember Mom's words, don't come back!" ”
At this point, I had to say, "Got it." I waved a guard to come, and my mother said, "What are you doing?" ”
"Let me do something for you one last time." I said to the guard, "Thank you for your hard work, go to Mei'an, and invite Kumei Shitai to me." ”
"Huh?" The guard thought that he had misheard, when had Master Kumei, who had always been over-eyed, been "invited" like this? So I wasn't very confident in this mission, and whispered, "Is this how to go?" ”
I said, "You're embarrassed to buy 2 catties of snacks on the way there." ”
“…… I mean, do you want the general to write a handwritten letter? A little grandiose too? ”
I smiled and said, "The general is not good, so you said that I asked her to come." ”
“…… Be. The guard hesitated.
My mother asked me, "What did you invite Kumei for?" ”
I said, "I can't put your safety in the hands of a bunch of chicks anymore, Kumei is also a sword master, I want to ask her to be your personal bodyguard." ”
My mother was surprised: "You really dare to think that if you let a sword saint come to be my bodyguard, the empress will not have this treatment." ”
I said, "The empress is not the son of the sword god, who is special if we are not special?" ”
The old mother laughed and said, "The surname De!" ”
Sure enough, Kumei heard that I was looking for her, so I rushed over, and I told my mother about the almost assassination today, and Kumei said angrily: "These thieves are too rampant!" She raised her palms and fell, and she slapped a stone lion in her hand into an Egyptian cat, and I was busy hitting the railroad while it was hot: "There is actually a sword saint among those people on the other side, I thought about it again and again, if I want to protect the general, I can only ask you to come forward." ”
Kumei stinky fart said: "Master actually doesn't have to think about it, now I am the only one in the entire daughter country who is sure to deal with him." ”
I said in my heart, it's easy for Su Jing to be away, and I missed such a good opportunity to pat on the back, so I changed the conversation and said: "The main thing is that I'm worried that you don't want to." ”
Kumei said: "Since it is the master who has spoken, what can Amei not be willing to?" She said to her mother, "From now on, I will be inseparable from the general." ”
My mother hurriedly said, "How dare you let Master Kumei be degraded to do such a thing?" ”
Kumei said: "Kumei used to be a little arrogant, and after being taught by the master, she has repented, and the most valuable thing I can do for my daughter's country now is to protect the general, how can I talk about degrading?" ”
The old mother said, "Then thank you master." ”
…… That's it, the day passed quickly, the next morning the generals of the Feifeng Army at all levels gathered in the martial arts arena, when I got up, my mother was already standing on the platform, not much effort Prince Yun personally led the team to pick me up, I was grinding and deliberately delaying the time, but seeing that the last side was still not seen, I reluctantly walked to the door of the general's mansion, my mother finally hurried out of it, mother and son are opposite, and the future will be far away, but taking into account the presence of others and can't say too much, my mother stood on the steps, tears in her eyes, Only barely said a few words: "Remember what I said when I go back." ”
I nodded, choked up, "Take care." ”
Kumei said: "Master go with confidence, I will use my surname to guarantee the safety of the general." ”
I told her: "You also have to take care, there is no need to stay an inch, you should eat, sleep and sleep, it stands to reason that you are not young anymore." "I gave the old lady enough scourge this time, I can't pretend to be high-profile, and my identity has been reduced from a master to an apprentice, and I deceived someone to take a long-term job before leaving, I came to the daughter country this time, and I feel the most sorry for two people, one is Wu Ying, I knocked out a lot of his back molars, and Wu Ying basically can't chew gum in the future; There is also a bitter plum, the old nun obviously has a deep affection for my past life, and I am doing this because of my emotional kidnapping, which feels very unkind.
On the horse that Prince Yun prepared for me, I turned around and left the General's Mansion step by step, and saw that my mother's figure was getting smaller and smaller and finally disappeared, so I wiped my eyes vigorously.
Prince Yun said with a smile: "It's only been two days, it's hard to give up, you are very popular." ”
I reluctantly smiled and said, "Your popularity is also good, and the general has praised you a lot." "Through my mother's introduction, I have also changed my opinion of Prince Yun, knowing that the woman in front of me gave up the throne for the peace of the country, and she is a little more colorful, but the people don't rob it, and this prince is good.
Prince Yun smiled and said, "It's not uncommon for me to be praised by princes and ministers." ”
I said, "And you don't have that kind of compliment?" ”
"Hehe, I don't know if the man I like compliments me on my 'good job'."
Looking at her silky appearance, I said depressedly: "Don't tease me anymore, I'm about to leave, do you want me to think of my daughter in the future and regret my intestines?" ”
Prince Yun said, "Aren't you coming back?" ”
I knew I was speechless, so I hurriedly interrupted, "Where are we going now?" ”
Prince Yun said: "Go to my palace, the teleportation location is located there." ”
"What about the emperor?"
"She's already waiting for you over there."
"Oh."
All the way to the palace of Prince Yun, someone hurried to the Empress Tongbing, Prince Yun took me into the gate of the palace, the daughter country I have been to two places, the general's mansion is solemn and rough, the palace is majestic and solemn, here is the most like a high-ranking nobleman I have ever seen a comfortable nest, into the door is a small bridge flowing water corridor painting pavilion, this ideal is to be a 30 years of Taiping King of the woman, really very good at enjoyment.
As we walked, I asked her, "Shall we start in a moment?" ”
Prince Yun said, "Yes, why are you asking this?" ”
I covered my stomach and said, "I still have to go to the bathroom." ”
Prince Yun said, "Why do you go to the toilet wherever you go?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, the emperor is still waiting."
Prince Yun said helplessly: "The toilet is far away from here." ”
I broke down and said, "Why don't you build toilets?" ”
Prince Yun's eyes swept left and right, and he pointed to a rockery in front of him and said, "Do you see that line?" ”
I smiled bitterly: "Yes, I won't be able to pee without a rockery in the future." ”
"Go ahead, you think you're a dog?" Prince Yun pushed me and said, "Old rules, I'll help you look at people." ”
Do you have a friend who says he helps you watch people when you're peeing somewhere? Then when you unbutton your pants, he will suddenly shout: Come and see!
That's that kind of friend......
